Question

Write a program that allows the user to enter the last names of the candidates in a local election and the votes received by each candidate. the program should then output each candidate’s name, votes received by that candidate, and the percentage of the total votes received by the candidate. the program should also output the winner of the election.

Answer 1

Here is code in c++.

#include<bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

int n;

cout<<"Enter the number of candidates:";

cin>>n;

// string array to store name of candidates

string name[n];

// int array to store vote count of candidates

int vote_c[n];

double percent = 0;

int i = 0, sum = 0, highest =0, Winner = 0;

//String name;

for(i = 0; i < n;i++)

{

cout<<"last name of Candidate "<<(i+1) <<" :";

// read name of Candidate

cin>>name[i];

cout<<" number of votes received: ";

// read vote of Candidate

cin>> vote_c[i];

if(vote_c[i] > highest)

{

// highest vote

highest = vote_c[i];

Winner = i;

}

// total vote count

sum +=vote_c[i];

}

// printing the output

cout<<"\\Candidate\tVotes Received\t of TotalVotes\\"<<endl;

for(i = 0; i < n;i++)

{

// % of vote of each Candidate

percent =(vote_c[i]*100)/double(sum);

// print the output

cout<<name[i] <<"\t\t" <<vote_c[i] << "\t\t\t" <<percent<<endl;

}

// print the total votes

cout<<"\\Total Votes:\t"<< sum<<endl;

// print the Winner of the Election

cout<<"Winner of the Election is: " << name[Winner]<<endl;

return 0;

}

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a string array "name" to store the name of candidates.Create Integer array "vote_c" to store votes os each candidates.Calculate total votes of all candidates and find the highest vote amongst all candidate and print it.Find % of votes received by each candidate.Print these stats.

Output:

Enter the number of candidates:4

last name of Candidate 1 :sam

number of votes received: 32

last name of Candidate 2 :alex

number of votes received: 43

last name of Candidate 3 :kris

number of votes received: 55

last name of Candidate 4 :liji

number of votes received: 76

Candidate Votes Received of TotalVotes

sam 32 15.534

alex 43 20.8738

kris 55 26.699

liji 76 36.8932

Total Votes: 206

Winner of the Election is: liji
